Got to say that I put big tires and rims on my Ranchers, and what a huge mistake! $2,000 absolutely wasted. Turned a nice little trail quad into a clumsy clunker. I recently went back to the stock tires on the stock rims, and it handles so much better. Think twice before you do it!

As long as rolling diameter is the same it won't be a issue. i went to a set of 25" dirt devils, worked out well for me

You can get 12" rears, contemporary 450s and 500s had 12" rears, but that wouldn't make a bit of difference to anything, except weird outside diameters and widths are easier to get for 12" rims. Width of tyre and outside dia is limited by what will fit under the wheelarch. Usually you hit the silencer and/or the footwell plastic if you go above a couple of inches bigger than standard at the rear and hit the inner plastics at the front on full lock. All tyre outside dias must be the same on a 4WD Honda 350. Go wider on the fronts and you will get heavier steering. Go bigger on the OD and you get higher gearing, so slower acceleration, I suspect this will be hardly noticeable in normal running though.
